For meteorology, spring begins on a fixed date every year, which is (1) March, which is the unofficial start of spring determined by weather patterns, while the official start of spring this year will be on Tuesday, March 21 2023 .
The spring season will last 92 days, that is, until the summer solstice, which will fall on Wednesday, June 21, 2023.
But what do we mean by the official start of spring?
The official start of the spring season is on the day of the Spring Equinox , which is on March 20 or 21 of each year in the Northern Hemisphere, and on September 22 or 23 of each year in the Southern Hemisphere.
On this day, the earth is in an upright position with respect to the sun, so the earth’s axis is not inclined towards the sun or away from it, so day and night are equal in all countries, and after this day the sun’s rays begin to head north of the equator, until it reaches its northernmost point on the day of the summer solstice.
Determining dates for the four seasons in meteorology was due to the difference in length from 89 to 93 days in the duration of the astronomical seasons, and it was difficult for experts to compare statistics from one year to another, and weather science and meteorology remain important in studying the beginnings of the seasons depending on the average temperatures This is due to its proximity to what is actually happening on the ground, and this is of great importance to various sectors such as the agricultural sector, the industrial sector, and others.
